    Mustafa our guide was an absolute highlight. It was like having a friend show you the best sights. He was organised, friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole thing completely stress free. Getting up early, as Mustafa advised, to be first to the Valley of the Kings and have the tombs to ourselves. Pyramids and Karnak obviously must sees and really enjoyed our camel ride!

    Abu Simbel was definitely one of the highlights. I know that the early mornings are punishing, but it was well worth it. My son and I also enjoyed the optional extra ticket that meant we could go down into the pyramid - my cousin and daughter didn't do it and would not have enjoyed it as the access is so small, but we loved it.

    There were so many highlights on this trip - the felucca cruise, the Valley of the Kings, Karnak, the meal in Nubian home.

    Overall it was a fantastic holiday and a wonderful, exciting and educational trip. Our children (10 & 12) had a fabulous time. We felt very lucky to have such a kind, funny and intelligent guide who was always on hand and keen to ensure we had the best time and the least to worry about. We also felt we got lucky with the other family on the tour who were lots of fun, keen and enthusiastic travellers and whose two boys, despite a large age gap with our children, were kind enough to spend lots of time together, got on like a house on fire and had so much fun. Highlights were the overnight train, the scenery at Aswan, sleeping aboard the felucca, the temple in Karnak, the valley of the kings and swimming at sunset in the Red Sea. Food was generally good but the food available in most of the hotels at lunchtime, poor versions of Italian dishes, was so disappointing when falafel, pitta, cheese pastries and other dishes we would happily eat for lunch were on offer at breakfast. The boat trip on the final day in the Red Sea was out of character with the rest of the tour - the crew showed little sign of caring about the reef or the fish, encouraging people to stand on the reef, disturb or feed fish for photo opportunities, and depositing us on a beach with a dreadful bar for two hours which constantly blasted music unsuitable for children. Drop this trip, replace it with a shorter snorkelling tour on a boat where the crew know and care about the reef and that would be a suitable end to an excellent holiday.

    Only that we felt we got to know a little bit of Egypt in a way we would not have done so easily on our own. That was a great bonus.

    Really enjoyed the trip, covered a lot but there was still some down time, first trip I have done as a family and would definitely recommend the family holidays.
